1st Transmutation | [video] Introductions

[armoredsoul]

[Al had taken some time fumbling around with the Gear once he got out of that odd town, testing the buttons and managing to reason his way into making a video post--though he doesn't realize that it is transmitting video yet. Alphonse comes onto the screen sitting at the base of a tree, and actually seems relatively calm about all this. It isn't the first time he's been tossed into a strange new world, though at least the last time he'd meant to go there. Anyone that knows him might notice he seems a bit...young, though.]

Okay, I think it's recording...um, hello! I just got here, and I've read that little book, so I know what we're supposed to be here for, but...does anyone have any information as to how we were transported here? The only method I know to move between worlds like this doesn't...really seem to apply here.

[It looks like he would continue, but his Shinx takes that moment to pounce into his lap and headbutt under his chin--gently, though, and clearly just wanting attention.] Ah, jeez! It's barely been five minutes, can't I pay attention to something else for that long? --um, sorry, my Pokémon is being kind of needy...are they always like this? I know we're supposed to battle them, but this little guy is so much like a little kitten I can't see him fighting anything except his own tail! [And really, he's kind of offended by that concept in general. It's so cruel!!] Um, anyway, if anyone has any information I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

[Winry shakes her head at that.] Don't worry about it. I needed to travel with him and some others back home too, it's a long story but it's okay, you're not hurting me. And we've had a lot of time to think that he's not from the same Amestris as us, so it's not like we're holding anything against him.

Ohh, speaking of traveling with him -- ummmm, I guess we could give him a ride from Goldenrod with us to meet up with you. I guess we should ask from him...

[armoredsoul]

Okay. I just...he's a friend that's done a lot for me, and I want to make sure he's okay, you now?

Yeah, it's gonna take a bit to get this coordinated, huh? Sorry for causing the trouble.

[... a friend... that's weird to hear, but then again after everything what happens on the Promised Day too...]

Friends help each other, right? And family even more, so... I want to help you to make sure that he's okay then, it's not trouble at all.

Anyway, I have pokemon for traveling on land and for flying too, they'll be glad to help too. Makes them good to get something to do.

[Al gives her a grateful smile, sighing with relief.] Thanks, Winry. It means a lot to me.

What's it like flying on a Pokemon? How fast do they go, and how high?

[usedwrench]

[Anything for the boys, who mean the world to her!] I know, and you're welcome.

It's ... amazing, especially in summer and well, besides winter it's really great. There's so much to see and it's quite a relaxing experience with trustworthy pokemon. The speed? Depends on how much flying experience they have, and on the weather too, of course. A day of walking is about 2 hours with fast fliers, and 3 or more with the slower ones. And they go very high, but not too high so it's still nice for the human all the way. At least mine don't go too high...

I can let you try flying on my favorite bird as soon as possible!

[armoredsoul]

[Al's eyes light up as Winry explains, and his grin grows much wider. What a great way to travel!] Oh wow, that sounds really fun! I can't wait to try!

Would you? I mean, if they'll let me on; it sounds like that takes a lot of trust on their part, too.

[usedwrench]

It's a really great way to travel, definitely much better than trains even here.

I would! I'm sure they'll have no problem with it when I'll be there too, especially not my Altaria, she's the friendliest bird you ever meet.

[...or maybe she's like Winry in bird form, because well yeah, actually she is like Winry in dragon bird form.]
